ATLANTA, GA - On April 20, 1913, fourteen-year-old Mary Phagan, a white girl, from her job at the National Pencil Factory on Forsythe Street here in Atlanta where she put the metal bands on pencils. She had $1.80 coming to her and was told to return to the factory on pay day, April, 26. At 4 o'clock in the morning of Sunday, April 27, a watchman found her body in the cellar lying on a pile of cinders near the furnace. She had been beaten, strangled and raped. Police arrested the black watchman and questioned him. Also questioned were the plant's manager, Leo Frank, a jew, and a black janitor named Jim Conley. Despite a suspicion that pointed to Conley as the killer, police arrested Leo Frank and charged him with murder because witnesses testified that Mary was last seen in his office to get her check. Frank denied the charged. Frank was found guilty on August 26, 1914, and sentenced to hang. On June 22, 1915, the governor commuted his sentence to life in prison. At midnight of August 16, 1915, a mob of 25 armed men raided the Georgia State prison at Milledgeville, overpowered the guards and dragged Frank out of the prison. The next morning, 170 miles away near Marietta, Frank, 29, was found in Frey's grove, dangling from a tree near the roadway with a hangman's noose around his neck. Jim Conley died in 1962, and rumors spread that just before his died he confessed to the murder of Mary Phagan. In 1982, Alonzo Mann, an employee of the pencil factory at the time of the murder, signed an affidavit that he had seen Conley carrying the limp body of Mary Phagan on his shoulder near the trapdoor leading to the basement. A lie detector test indicated that Mann was telling the truth.
